There’s so many version control projects out there for software development, but which one is the best? In the last week or so i’ve run into 3 or 4 sites/blogs for software apps that either mentioned that they’ve changed over to a new DVCS or they …

If you want to store a mix of encrypted and unencrypted files under the same area, choose plaintext passthrough, otherwise choose the default, no. I suggest an all or nothing approach, as it can get confusing as to which files are encrypted especially when they’re binary! (With ascii text files you can just cat a file and tell if it’s encrypted or not.)

I really like eCryptfs, an encrypted file system supported in kernel able to encrypt right on top of the already supported file systems. No kernel-user-kernel-user swapping required. I like the selective ability of encrypting individual files and I especially like the interchangeable key structure.
While eCryptfs sounds great, there are a few downsides of stacked file system encryption.
